I had the same problem on a LaserJet 1100.  I've read several posts on the
web with people having similar problems too.  I wouldn't be surprised if HP
used the same piece of crap feeding system on several models.

The LaserJet 2100 I have now won't feed through tray 1, I have to shove back
a cam on the left side of the opening to get it going (hidden behind a
spring).  One day I'm going to lose some flesh doing that, but it's the only
way to get tray 1 actuated.  Tray 2 won't feed unless I shove a piece of
cardboard under the drawer, this elevates the tray just enough for the
feeder to pick up a sheet.

And to think that there was a time when Hewlett Packard stood for top
quality printers.
